This paper presents a method for locating structural damage using experimental vibration
data. The method uses measured frequency response functions to obtain displacement as a …

With contributions from leading experts in their respective fields, Metal and Ceramic Matrix
Composites provides a comprehensive overview of topics on specific materials and trends. It …

The performance of embedded piezoceramic transducers (PZTs) used as Lamb wave
generators was investigated in this paper. The composite specimens with a PZT embedded …

A method for damage detection based on self-sensing piezoelectrics is presented. When a
piezoelectric actuator is electronically excited, it causes stress in the structure to which it is …

In this article, the following topics are examined: embedding commercially available optical
fibers in aluminum and SiC fiber-reinforced aluminum composites to use as a sensor; …

In this paper, a method is presented for the localisation of structural damage. The validation
of the method is based on simulated data and experimental measurements. Due to …

When the difference between the analytically produced modal parameters and those
measured experimentally is minimized, the damage is said to have been located. A simple …

This paper presents a broadband vibration-based Structural Irregularity and Damage
Evaluation Routine (SIDER) that uses features in complex curvature operating shapes to …

The monitoring of structural integrity for pipes is one potential structural health monitoring
(SHM) application using piezoelectric sensor networks. A dynamic cooperative identification …

A method of determining the contact force on laminated composite plates subjected to low
velocity impact is developed using the finite element method and a neural network. The back …
